Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accuracy off the tee—favor placement over distance to avoid valleys and uneven lies.

Several holes require carries over valleys and ponds, so choose clubs conservatively and account for elevation—downhill shots play longer (use less club) while uphill shots require more club.

Bentgrass greens are generally smooth and receptive, so focus on precise approach shots and be prepared for moderate-to-fast putting speeds when surfaces are firm.

Coastal influence can bring variable winds on exposed holes, so check flag direction at the tee and adjust trajectory or club selection accordingly.

Soft spikes are required, so wear appropriate footwear and expect firm footing on slopes and stepped tee boxes.
